Abstract The increasing adoption of solar photovoltaic systems necessitates accurate forecasting of solar energy production to enhance grid stability, reliability, and economic benefits. This study explores advanced machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques for predicting solar energy generation, emphasizing the significant impact of meteorological data. A comprehensive dataset, encompassing detailed weather conditions and solar energy metrics, was collected and preprocessed to improve model accuracy. Various models were developed and trained with different preprocessing stages. Finally, three datasets were prepared. A novel hour-based prediction wrapper was introduced, utilizing external sunrise and sunset data to restrict… More >
